    Zelenskyy seems the best candidate right now. He has the most skin in the game of any leader and is the only one so far to have shown the mettle to do it…

      He’s done well as a wartime leader, but his peacetime leadership was marked by cronyism (the head of the intelligence service was his TV Producer partner, which went well) and a credible corruption investigation halted by the invasion. Without the grand purpose of the war, he’d probably be too scandal-prone to hold a consensus.

      It’s hard to see a world leader though as so many electorates have turned inward. Zelenskyy is the one with an outward focus.
